Property Description
High Cascade Timberland Portfolio encompasses six tracts in central Oregon, and is located near the towns of Sisters, Bend, La Pine, Gilchrist, Chemult, and Chiloquin. This extensive property, covering 197,596 acres, presents significant long-term appreciation potential, offering opportunities for sustainable timber management, recreation, and potential residential and mixed-use development. Over 80% of the landscape consists of highly productive conifer forests, interspersed with meandering rivers, creeks, and springs. The property’s elevation ranges from 3,600 feet at Bull Springs Skyline tract to 6,400 feet at the Lakeview tract. The terrain features a diverse array of landforms, from deep canyon breaks and expansive forests to rugged alpine timber, all with breathtaking views of the Deschutes River Basin and the Cascade Mountains. LOCATION Located in central Oregon, near Bend, Oregon, the property lies on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains in the Deschutes River Basin. Multiple Airports in Redmond, Bend, and Sunriver make the property quickly accessible by all types and sizes of aircraft - 25 minutes from Portland, 50 minutes from Seattle and just over an hour to San Francisco. WATER RESOURCES Highlighted by the Williamson River and the headwaters of the Little Deschutes River, the property is rich with live water originating both on-site and from the adjoining National Forest. It includes roughly four miles of frontage along the Williamson River, about two miles along the Little Deschutes River, and approximately three miles along Crescent Creek. The eastern exposure of the Cascade Mountains allows for significant snow accumulation, contributing to abundant groundwater recharge in the region. HUNTING This property is teeming with wildlife, thriving around its rivers, streams, timbered canyons, and expansive mountain meadows, making it a haven for year-round hunting. Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, bear, cougar, wild turkey, and quail are all present on the ranch. The property qualifies for landowner permits, both archery and rifle, for deer and elk. Big game hunting is strategically managed to produce trophy-class Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer, with exceptional habitat supporting the abundance of trophy mule deer bucks. TIMBER RESOURCES The High Cascade Timberland Portfolio encompasses 185,526 acres of timberlands with a total net volume of 412 million board feet (MMBF) of merchantable saw timber, as assessed in the 2024 Timber Inventory. This volume is based on logs with a minimum six-inch diameter at the small end and lengths ranging from 16 to 32 feet, tailored to mill specifications. Beyond saw timber, there is significant biomass potential, with small-diameter logs yielding an estimated 160 MMBF of chip logs or approximately 880,000 bone dry tons (BDT). The annual growth rate of the timber is approximately 20 MMBF per year, representing a 5% increase. The timberlands primarily consist of pine and fir species, with the majority being Ponderosa Pine, White Fir, and Douglas Fir, followed by Juniper, Larch, and other mixed conifers.
